THE 5-STEP INVESTING FORMULA
Step 3: Fundamental Analysis
Step 3: Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis is the process of determining whether or not a particular
company is a good investment.
The first step in fundamental analysis is Phase 1, which is included as part of
the search results page. However, it is only a shortcut to determining whether
a stock is good or bad and is less important than the Phase 2 process.
Phase 2 is the most important part of the fundamental investigative process.
The Investor Toolbox now automatically scores nearly all of Phase 2 for you.
But to understand what makes a fundamentally sound company, we will show
you what the computer is grading point by point.
By doing fundamental analysis on a company, you reduce or limit the amount
of emotion that comes with an investment decision: either a stock passes or
it doesn’t. Fundamentals tell us the good and bad, helping reduce risk. Good
fundamentals provide a great foundation for companies to build on. It’s been
said: “Know the fundamentals and trade the technicals.”

THE 5-STEP INVESTING FORMULA
Step 3: Fundamental Analysis
Phase 1
The Phase 1 score is the first step in a
fundamental analysis. This score is shown
on the search results page (these scores are
updated every 24 hours).
To learn about Phase 1 we’ll use Hovnanian
Enterprises (HOV) stock as an example. In
the search results table, this stock scores
9/2 for Phase 1—an excellent score.
Remember, Phase 1 is just a shortcut,
whereas Phase 2 is more in-depth and
reveals more of a company’s fiscal strength.
Note: Evaluate every stock... don’t just buy
the first stock on the list.
Finding the Phase 1 Score
Another way to find the Phase 1 score for a
stock is to go to the main graph of the stock
and then scroll down below the graph.
Remember, click on the stock symbol on
the search results page to access the stock
graph.
The Phase 1 chart is located below the
graph on the left-hand side. Here it lists
the individual scores of the 13 criteria that
comprise Phase 1. These criteria look for
those things that have traditionally signaled
value in a stock.
